I'll just have to save up for some new skates that I can bake ;)andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129313529936399781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230563935217793991.post-61181590872613909952015-07-15T10:05:36.361-07:002015-07-15T10:05:36.361-07:00Hi Andrew,
Unfortunately, baking the Vapor Elite ...Hi Andrew,<br /><br />Unfortunately, baking the Vapor Elite Skates will likely have little to no positive effects on the fit. Since they aren't designed with thermoformable foam, the boot will be unresponsive to baking. In some cases, sadly, it's just a matter of the boots not being a good fit for your foot type.<br /><br />Vapor skates have what Bauer describes as a "V" shaped fit, where the heel is fairly narrow and the boot becomes progressively wider toward the toe box. They also have moderate to high arches. If you can pinpoint the aspects of the fit that are most uncomfortable for you, we should be able to guide you to a skate model that provides a better fit for your feet.Jeremiah Laficahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788477225158132015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230563935217793991.post-77940863946614493062015-07-14T15:04:40.566-07:002015-07-14T15:04:40.566-07:00I have a pair of Bauer Vapor Elite skates, I'm...I have a pair of Bauer Vapor Elite skates, I'm sure they are entry level skates but they aren't very comfortable even after skating quite a few times. Would it help to bake them?andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129313529936399781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230563935217793991.post-25541603128671602015-03-19T12:07:11.532-07:002015-03-19T12:07:11.532-07:00There shouldn't be any truly adverse effects i...There shouldn't be any truly adverse effects if you bake a pair of non-thermoformable skates. The boots will soften, but they won't <i>form</i> to your feet as a result of the baking process the way that thermoformable skates will.<br /><br />My guess is that your runners are making the clicking noise that you hear. This is very common and is not a result of baking. The 150 Skates have non-replaceable runners - they're fused to the holders. What often happens is that there's a small amount of "play" between the holder and runner ( < 1mm), which causes the runner to click against the underside of the holder when you lift and then put down your foot with each step. It can be an annoying sound, but it doesn't affect performance in any way because the amount of movement is so minimal that it's undetectable while skating.Jeremiah Laficahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788477225158132015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2230563935217793991.post-63953990708802484212015-03-13T08:15:37.083-07:002015-03-13T08:15:37.083-07:00What are the adverse effects of baking a skate tha...What are the adverse effects of baking a skate that is not theroformable? I was new to hockey and purchased a pair of Bauer 150 Supreme's. Not knowing anything at the time, the store said they could bake them for a better fit so I agreed. Five months later they are badly clicking when walking on the mats after playing.
